There's already a Brasilia on Avsim, these are the two missing planes.
I couldn't find any Metro photos, so I just did the standard Connection scheme.

Finally, the 228 can replace the Brasilias at my 80's MDW! Thank you!

I still couldn't find any pictures of a Midway Connection Metro. This is my "Artist's Impression."

Those photos are of a later incarnation of Midway Connection.
The 1988 flightplans on Avsim call for the 228, Metro and Brasilia. I dug out a Midway timetable from October 1998 and it states, "Midway Coimmuter features the 19 passenger Dornier 228 Prop Jet, Iowa Airways features the 16 passenger Embraer EMB110 Prop Jet." No mention of the Metro.
In one of the advertisements it says that Benton Harbor, Dubuque, Elkhart and Waterloo flights operated by Iowa Airways.
So it would appear that the flightplans have incorrect aircraft assigned.
I guess I have to go back to the drawing board so to speak!

he reg numbers in the flightplans match the pictures I sent you and yes the plans are incorrect. Also the Midway 1988 plans are not correct either as there is no DC-9-10 aircraft assigned and they still had the baby DC9 in 1988.

I worked for Midway Airlines/Midway Connection in the late 1980s. The Metro was never flown in Midway Connection colors. A couple of different carriers operated into Midway under the names of Chicago Express and Windy City. Chicago Express operated as ATA Connection after Midway Airlines shut down in 1990 using the BAeJ-31 and the SAAB 340. See attached photos.
